Selling with buyers (not to them) is my jam 🤟🏼 If you're an AE or sales leader focused on enterprise sales, complex sales, or landing larger B2B sales, you'll see how to make this shift if you follow me. And, you'll find my content is different from most. You see, I don't believe sales reps close deals. Buyers do. That's because the make-or-break moments in a complex deal happen without sales reps in the room. Buying decisions are made during internal meetings — not sales meetings — when champions pitch their own team, in their own words. So the content, frameworks, and downloads I post help you build champions, and enable them with a clear, compelling message to sell with you.

Brief History: After a year of driving a full-sized school bus to two dozen cities (story in the Experience section of my profile), I spent a dozen years leading marketing teams inside local television stations in Grand Rapids (MI), Chicago, and Colorado Springs. As boredom with the work crept in, I earned an MBA and did project work for a variety of companies to explore interests and identify transferrable skills. In that process, I connected deeply with the team and mission of a bootstrapped software startup, BombBomb. When I joined BombBomb, we had fewer than 10 employees. Since then, we've enjoyed +2,000% growth in team size, +32,000% growth in customer size, and +52,000% growth in revenue. We're a team of 125 people (based in downtown Colorado Springs but also distributed) who are on a mission to rehumanize people who've been dehumanized by system or circumstance; we're funding the effort by helping people rehumanize their business communication with video email and video messages. I've now spent a decade helping people enjoy clearer communication, human connection, and higher conversion by replacing some of their faceless, digital communication with simple, personal video messages in emails, text messages, LinkedIn messages, Slack messages, and similar. I've sent more than 14,000 videos myself and co-authored two (and a half) books on the what, why, who, when, and how of this "relationships through video" movement. #CustomerExperience #HumanConnection #HumanCentered #SalesProcess #VideoTraining #VideoTips
